Bill Murray, never notawesome, crashed a bachelor party in Charleston last weekend, an attendee tells Deadspin. A friend first saw Murray, wearing a fishing vest, while the group ate dinner at a steakhouse; he asked to send over drinks to the actor, but Murray declined. Another friend then approached Murray and asked him to come say a few words for the groom-to-be; Murray again declined. But then, "two minutes later, Bill f---ing Murray walks into the room and gives this speech," the source says.

"I'm gonna give you all this advice, because it's too late for this fellow," Murray says in the video obtained by Deadspin. "If you have someone that you think is the one, don't just sort of think ... let's make a date, let's plan this and make a party and get married. Take that person and travel around the world. Buy a plane ticket for the two of you to travel all around the world and go to places that are hard to go to and hard to get out of. And if when you come back to JFK, when you land in JFK and you're still in love with that person, get married at the airport."

It was 35 years ago this coming weekend. The movie at the 4-plex theatre was, "Meatballs." We are putting up tents, getting the ranges ready, working the boats, getting the crafts hut organized, and training all of the staff in their areas. By Saturday we are ready to get away from camp and cut back. We stop at Ken's Pizza and fill up on the buffet. Then we head to the bowling alley and its 4 lanes of tough competition. At 50 cents per line, that's a value compared to today. Then we head to the theatre. The commercials come on. These commercials were on 16 mm film and they were scratchy. Our favorite was always, "Its always Christmas at the Bank N.A." So the feature, "Meatballs" starts and one at a time each area leader is on the floor rolling. "Crafts has been cancelled due to a lack of taste" puts Bill in a laughing spell. Trapper puts all of us in a rolling laugh for the entire movie. We talk about the movie the entire summer. We are free after the movie. This local kid says, "Hey, lets go to Walmart. Most of us ask, "What is that?" He says, "Its this dinky store that is next to the five and dime. While at this messy looking dinky store, walmart, we find the helmet that Trapper wore when he made announcements. One of our staff took it home. I wish I could find another one. The next year, the staff movie was, "Friday, the 13th." Instead of laughter when each staff leader was killed, we went back to the staffhouse and locked all the doors, windows, and posted a guard. If that wasn't bad enough, we went to the bigger city to see, "The Shining." None of us slept for days because LLoyd was our caretaker.
